He first discovered his musical gifts when he was six on his way home from a family camping trip. After listening to several verses of Chicago’s hit “You’re my Inspiration” on the car radio, he sang for the first time ever, perfectly matching the chorus. He began to compete in local and state talent shows at age eight and continued to perform throughout his teens, winning over 100 first-place titles.
